Detritous Clax

Well, hello, Max and good morning.  I hope you're well this fine December day.  Yes, it's been a long while since I last posted here, but as I previously mentioned, I've been busy catching up with Buggy Crenshaw so that together, we can document her next adventure.  It's not easy going, I'll admit, beings that she's had such an extraordinary life so far, but trust there's much more in store for her.  The trick is in sorting it all out.  (This, of course, was the primary reason for starting the second series of books, A Nexus Series Tangent.  A great deal of background information can be discovered there.)


Now then, as for Buggy's next epic adventure, I can't tell you everything, of course, but I will tell you some:  after having gone through pages upon pages of the available notes and journals, etc., I can safely say that Buggy's next adventure promises to showcase her grandest schemes of all.  Sorry I can't say what, but the goal is to have this installment available by the end of 2012, so at least you won't have as long to wait.  I know!  Best get to crackin', eh?  In good time, my friend.  Have no worries.


My purpose in posting today is to bring you news of something I discovered while digging through all these notes.  It appears to be a treasure, indeed!  If you'll recall from the Deadwood Principle, one of the things that helped Buggy, Sid, and Veronica determine who their enemy actually was was a Witch's journal, specifically, Mary Morgan's Demon Slayer's Logbook.  What you see below is an actual page from that very journal!

Woo-hoooo! What a find, eh?  That fella who's pictured goes by the name Detritous Clax, but I won't say much more for now.  I will, however, admit that there was a great deal more information on this page than what you see before you...When I first came across this precious nugget, it was actually in horrendous condition!  Obviously, I've cleaned it up and digitized it, but also, I've kept hidden most of what was on the original page.  (Trust it wasn't only this lovely mug!)  In time, all will be revealed, but for now, knowing too much can be as....well, not really dangerous, but I don't want to spoil anything for you.  Suffice to say you will soon be meeting the real Detritous Clax.  Don't be alarmed when I hint that he had to have been someone... (hmm)...extraordinary to have made it into Mary Morgan's logbook.  That Black Cat Sorceress had a nearly-two-hundred-year-long career, you know, and a very busy one as well, so surely she couldn't document every creature everyone she met, eh?

So, anyhooooo!  I just wanted to take a quick break from all my hard work (!) to show you what I'd found.  Believe me, though, that's not the end of it.  I promise I'll come back sooner next time to show you a little more of the booty I've discovered.  (So much that I'm beginning to believe Buggy's been holding back on me!)  In the meantime, I suggest you snuggle in somewhere warm and comfy and begin to discover "the rest of the story" by reading Magpie & Dilly.  After all, they, too, play a very important role in Buggy's upcoming adventure Buggy Crenshaw and the Infinite Sisterhood:  The Seventh Sister.

Until next time....uh...hmm...still sort of missing that clever send off, aren't I?  Well, here's this at least:

 

P.S. Hmm...Not exactly what I had in mind, but...never mind.
